Yep I was thinking more along the lines of $100 or so. I'm not
determined on the photo printer idea but figured it would be fun for her
to have, she could take her pictures to school or something. I've seen a
couple packages, camera and printer, that don't look too bad.
I did look for kid's cameras but they are still junk. She's 10, and
reasonably mature, she can probably figure out a camera with a few
features and a memory card.

Wow- I assumed Cyndi was looking for something more reasonably priced
than that. The new digital that I want for Xmas is $400- the Canon
SD800IS. Can't wait to get it. The image stabilization and faster
picture speed is great!!
I looked for kids digital cameras last year for my neice, but to no
avail. At that time they were all junk. I hope you have better luck
this year.
